Perks
This tent offers several advantages, including great size-to-weight ratio, a roomy interior, 5 feet of interior headroom, effective waterproofing, and sturdy construction. The tent's aluminum poles are more heavy-duty than the typical fiberglass ones, without compromising on weight. The tent has a color-coded pole and clip system for easy setup. Two doors with noiseless zippers ensure that everyone has a sound sleep.
Sacrifices
Five campers will be snug in this tent. A more realistic option is four campers with extra storage space. The 14.5-pound weight is heavier than some tents, but the 11 x 30-inch packed size of the tent means it can be easily carried into backcountry.
Bottom Line
If you have a camping family or a small group of regular camping buddies, this tent is an excellent choice. Its waterproofing is reliable, the construction is resilient, and with the fly, the vestibules offer extra storage and shelter. The cost is quite reasonable for the size and features.
